LARB Radio Hour

Sarah Bakewell, Tony Tulathimutte, and Andrea Kleine


Listen Later

This week’s show features our final interviews from the Los

Angeles Times Festival of Books. We talk with Sarah Bakewell,
author of At the Existentialist Cafe: Freedom, Being, and Apricot
Cocktails. Tony Tulathimutte joins us to discuss his novel Private
Citizens and how he overcame his fear of writing comedy. We also
talk with Andrea Kleine about her deeply personal novel Calf, a
story about a love affair between John Hinckley, Jr. (the failed
Reagan assassin) and Leslie DeVeau, a woman who murdered her own
daughter.

This episode is sponsored by Otherppl with Brad Listi, a weekly
